Trusted by municipal leaders throughout the country

Scale Whole Person Well-being Without Losing What Makes It Work

Propel is designed for complex, culture-driven wellness programs like San Mateo’s. Our flexible platform and full-service partnership model help the County preserve what already works, expand reach across departments and populations, and manage engagement, incentives, reporting, communications, and onsite services in one coordinated experience.

Configurable County-Branded Experience

Support department, health plan, eligibility group, and population-specific experiences while maintaining a cohesive County wellness identity.

Program Administration & Incentive Support

Manage challenges, campaigns, HRA participation, incentive tracking, validation, reporting, and communications from a flexible platform built around the County’s program design.

Strategic Partnership & Service Coordination

Partner with a dedicated team for implementation, communications, champion engagement, department-level strategy, reporting reviews, and coordination of onsite and virtual well-being programming.

The Input Layer That Powers the Entire Program

Propel gives employees simple ways to track activity, set goals, log progress, and complete measurable program actions from desktop or mobile. These inputs become the foundation for challenges, incentives, reporting, targeted communications, and long-term engagement strategy.

The platform can also incorporate device integrations, eligibility files, health plan data, HRA participation, biometric results, and other client-approved file feeds, helping bring the full well-being program into one coordinated experience.

Custom Challenges That Turn Participation Into Momentum

Propel’s challenge engine supports individual, team, group, and population-specific competitions that can be built around nearly any trackable activity. Challenges can include custom branding, rules, leaderboards, badges, levels, incentives, and employee-created private competitions.

Because every challenge can be built around the organization’s culture, Propel can turn existing wellness events, local themes, or department priorities into highly engaging digital experiences that feel familiar, relevant, and worth joining (such as the annual Take A Hike challenge)

Built-in Tools to Boost Program Success

Propel supports a broad library of well-being education, including articles, videos, self-paced programs, recipes, meditations, podcasts, tutorials, and guided activity content. These resources can be organized into custom themes, campaigns, pathways, and portal pages that reflect each organization’s priorities.

Rather than relying only on generic content libraries, Propel helps build educational experiences that connect to the broader program strategy, seasonal campaigns, benefits, challenges, incentives, and employee needs.

What it's like to work with us

Client Feedback

"When we were evaluating vendors, we were looking for a well-being platform that could be highly customized to fit the unique needs of our agencies and wellness champions. Propel stood out because of your flexibility and ability to tailor the experience to our diverse teams.

Equally important was finding a solution that was user-friendly and engaging, not just for our team members but also for their spouses. We wanted a platform that would excite and encourage broader participation, and Propel’s design and approach really resonated with us in that regard."

"Propel has been nothing but wonderful as we have worked closely with them to implement our employee wellness program for the last 18 months or so. Any technical issues or questions we have are attended to with timeliness and care. The ability to tailor the platform to the needs of our employees and resources was crucial in our decision. Our team has appreciated their partnership and expert guidance in making our program the success it has been for our organization."
